Body composition and pulmonary function in Cystic Fibrosis

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2014
Background: Lower body mass index (BMI) is associated with worse pulmonary function in cystic fibrosis (CF). Hypothesis: Lean body mass (LBM) is more strongly associated with pulmonary function than BMI is.Methods: Anthropometrics, body composition by ...

Adolescent body mass index and changes in pre-pregnancy body mass index in relation to risk of gestational diabetes

EClinicalMedicine, 2021
Background: Pregestational excessive body mass index (BMI) is linked to an increased risk for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), but less is known on the effect of adolescent BMI on GDM occurrence.

Waist circumference adjusted for body mass index and intra-abdominal fat mass. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BackgroundThe association between waist circumference (WC) and mortality is particularly strong and direct when adjusted for body mass index (BMI). One conceivable explanation for this association is that WC adjusted for BMI is a better predictor of the ...

Time Discounting and the Body Mass Index [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2005
In many Western countries, the relative weight of people -- measured by the body mass index (BMI) -- has increased substantially in recent years, leading to an increasing incidence of overweight and related health problems. As with many forms of risky behavior, it is plausible that overweight is related to the individual discount rate.

Comparison of fat-free mass index and fat mass index in Chinese adults [PDF]

European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2012
To compare the characteristics of body composition for different gender and age in a large number of apparently healthy Chinese subjects, and to determine reference values for fat-free mass index (FFMI) and fat mass index (FMI).In total, 61,382 Chinese adults (age range: 18-92 years) were consecutively enrolled into the study.

Determination of Black Hole Masses in Galactic Black Hole Binaries using Scaling of Spectral and Variability Characteristics

, 2009
We present a study of correlations between X-ray spectral and timing properties observed from a number of Galactic Black Hole (BH) binaries during hard-soft state spectral evolution. We analyze 17 transition episodes from 8 BH sources observed with RXTE.
